Study on the performance of Olympic class athletes – Formula Kite Foil

Another project created in cooperation between the Biomechanics Laboratory of the Poznań University of Technology and the Polish Sailing Association, financed by the Ministry of Sport and Tourism.

Kitesurfing competitors in the iQFOiL class took part in the project. The aim was to examine the location of their center of gravity on performance and to correlate the obtained data with the forces placed on the line attached to the harness. The computational techniques were used from the previous project and enriched with biomechanical models for women and the OpenPose markerless movement monitoring system.
